Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 154
وَلَا تَقُولُوا لِمَن يُقْتَلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتٌ ۚ بَلْ أَحْيَاءٌ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تَشْعُرُونَ
"And do not say about those who are killed in the way of Allah, "They are dead." Rather, they are alive, but you perceive it not."
And do not say about those who are killed in the way of Allah, "They are dead." Rather, they are alive, but you perceive it not.
اور جو اللہ کی راہ میں مارے جائیں انہیں مردہ مت کہو، بلکہ وہ زندہ ہیں لیکن تمہیں احساس نہیں۔
Explanation
Martyrs are alive in the sight of Allah, enjoying a form of existence beyond worldly perception—comfort for those who lose loved ones in His cause.
